[22:13] I'm running ubuntu studio 11.10 x86-64 === becky_ is now known as PersonWithAJACKI === PersonWithAJACKI is now known as PersonWithAIssue [22:29] PersonWithAIssue, has this worked before? which device are you using? [22:29] PersonWithAIssue, are you sure the device is powered on and plugged in : ) [22:34] yes [22:34] I get sound from it [22:35] I just installed UB11.10, clean install [22:35] .... [22:35] PersonWithAIssue, was it working in a previous version? [22:36] I never tried a previous version [22:36] I just built this system [22:36] ok. what kind of sound card is it? [22:37] PersonWithAIssue, type " lspci | grep -i Audio " into a terminal and paste the output [22:37] Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD 24-bit 96KHz USB Interface Sound Card [22:38] ok [22:38] btw [22:39] I don't get any output when I enter the line you gave me in the terminal [22:39] :-/ [22:39] thank you for helping :-) [22:39] that's fine. i think "lspci | grep -i sound" might work better than [22:40] depends on what the device calls itsself [22:41] Do the ALSA drivers work? Can you just play audio from the device without starting up jack? [22:41] yes... the system uses pulseaudio by default.... [22:41] is that an issue? [22:42] I don't know the difference [22:42] no. i suspect the jack configuration might be off... how are you starting the jack server? [22:42] qjackctl [22:43] I don't know any better [22:43] ok cool. might need to play with the settings a bit to get it work [22:43] cool :-) [22:44] PersonWithAIssue, good luck [22:44] eek [22:44] any suggestions? [22:54] I figured out. Used this solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861477&highlight=banshee [22:57] okay, I found what might be part of my issue [22:58] So.... when I do lspci | grep -i sound [22:58] or anything to do with lspci [22:58] I can't find the sound card [22:59] and the error message JACK is giving me seems to say that it can't find the card either [23:00] but I hear the card and can configure it in pulseaudio
